Every Bush Is Burning [Kindle Edition]

Brandon Clements (Author)

Book Description

A gritty, emotionally gripping story about forgiveness, family, and the sometimes tragically painful sins of the church.

Jack Bennett has a wife, two kids, the perfect job--and the perfect affair. When he is caught and it all comes crashing down, Jack is left with no one to turn to. No friends. No family, except his recovering drug addict of a sister.

On a Sunday morning drive, he sees a homeless man locked out of a church service, banging on the door. He stops and offers the guy a cup of coffee. He asks the man his name, and the guy says Yeshua. As in, Jesus.

Jack's not stupid. This isn't the real Jesus. But with nowhere else to turn, Jack forms an unlikely friendship with this eccentric homeless man--one that will test his idea of truth, faith, love, and forgiveness. 

And Jack is completely unprepared for the real-life twists his story is going to take.

Review

Reader Reviews (taken from Amazon reviews): 

"Couldn't put the book down, and didn't even begin to guess the twist at the end. An absolutely beautiful story on many levels." -Lorna Johnston

"I can't imagine anyone not remembering this book long after they've come to the last page."  -Shelley Waldaias

"Clements' book surprised me. I thought it was one thing, a typical jab at the Christian establishment, and it turned out to be something different, a jab at what it means to be human and to long for love, but to come up short, the kind of jab that makes us all start looking, and maybe finding, that love we had forgotten."  -Joe Bunting

5.0 out of 5 stars On Par with "The Shack" July 28, 2012

By Anne M. Piombino

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

If you want to read a book that will shake up everything you believe about yourself, our American culture and Christianity, this is the one. More accessible than "The Shack", it addresses the same 'life will be brutal sometimes, and what does God/Jesus have to say about that' topic. The characters are believable, and you really feel like you could walk into the same coffee shop and meet them all. I will probably have to read it many times to get the full impact of the story, it's that deep.

By Kathleen Brewer

Format:Paperback

There are very few books in this world that still captivate me, catch me off guard, or make me cry. This book did all three in one fatal blow, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

I was sucked in from the beginning of the story. Every Bush Is Burning is a great read that will make you think, cry, pray, and laugh. I read it in 2 days! Not afraid to talk about ugly issues, Clements has crafted a great story of redemption that you will enjoy. I highly recommend it!
